Services we do not offer:
Hunting training- we recommend Jeff and Debbie Weber at "Fetch This Kennel" 208-642-4245 www.fetchthiskennels.com or ask your veterinarian for a reference
Service dog training- we recommend Canine Companions for Independence www.cci.org this is the one tried and true organization and although many trainers offer this service we stand very firmly
on our referral only to CCI This site offers some very important laws regarding service dogs, violations of the
laws that we sadly see often as well as some resources when looking into getting a service dog https://www.animallaw.info/statute/id-assistance-animal-assistance-animalguide-dog-laws
Therapy dog training-
most organizations (hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, care homes, etc.) offer their own training programs as they have
specific criteria and it is best to contact them directly-
Guard/attack
training- any dog falling into the category of a guardian breed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guardian_Dog_Group is already predisposed to protection and we have often seen that encouraging that natural
born instinct can damage the dog's own talent and result in an unpredictable dangerous pet that can no longer be trusted for
what we needed in the first place.
